Prompt: Prompt #85: What matters it if they do forget the singer, so they don't forget the song. -- Frances Watkins Harper
Summary: When you come to join me, leave it behind. It belongs here and to our daughters yet to come who will be in need of it as you are now.

The characters are JKR's. Thank you so much to

elizassecret for the beta and answering my many questions. Thank you as well to

gryffindor_j for suggesting what the object should be. Smooches to you both. Thank you to

gehayi for running this lovely fest and for being so kind when I told her that I am an idiot who doesn't know what day it is.

Title: Impressions
Author:

opheliet
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Some talk of abortion, canon character death
Prompt: 83- "The popular idea that a child forgets easily is not an accurate one. Many people go right through life in the grip of an idea which has been impressed on them in very tender years."
-Agatha Christie.
Summary: Just because she doesn't remember much, doesn't mean she forgot everything.

So many thanks and cupcakes to

liseuse , who was a terrific beta. All mistakes are definitely mine.

Title: Comfortable Streets
Author:

liseuse
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: PG13
Warnings: None.
Prompt: 56) A person without a memory is either a child or an amnesiac. A country without a memory is neither a child nor an amnesiac, but neither is it a country. -- Mary Astor.
Summary: After that dreadful incident before the last battle where can Pansy Parkinson go? More importantly, where can she feel at home? What does home even mean in these dark days?
All my thanks go to my wonderful beta

aunty_marion who did a fantastic job. All mistakes are, obviously, my own.

Warnings: Vague Deathly Hallows spoilers

Title: How the Dementors Came to Being
Autor:

catsintheattic
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: R
Warnings: character death, soul-sucking aplenty
Prompt: Promp no. 35: Some people are still unaware that reality contains unparalleled beauties. The fantastic and unexpected, the ever-changing and renewing is nowhere so exemplified as in real life itself. (Berenice Abbott.)
Summary: She was a young Veela who only wanted to be beautiful. When her body failed her, she started looking for inner beauty. Alas, her own soul wasn’t enough to make up for what she couldn’t achieve.
Word count: 3,209
Author’s notes: There I sat, completely stuck with a quotation about beauty in real life that I could easily second, but that elicited not a single idea beyond my nodding. Until I had the idea to write a completely twisted, perverted interpretation of the prompt, thanks to an inspirational talk with

jaelle_n_gilla. I thank

ayes_sid very much for her speedy and detailed beta-reading job. Comments and concrit are always welcome!

Title: Being True (To Yourself)
Author:

sabethea; IJ’s iamisaac
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Prompt: 52) Any coward can fight a battle when he's sure of winning, but give me the man who has pluck to fight when he's sure of losing. That's my way, sir; and there are many victories worse than a defeat. -- George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans).
Summary: Luna is Luna from the first moment she boards the Hogwarts Express
Author’s Note: Thanks to leewest, westwardlee for beta-ing.

Title: Shadows in Light and Dark
Author: Envinyatar (aka

envinyatar15)
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Narcissa, Andromeda, Bellatrix, Lucius, Harry, Voldemort, Draco
Rating: R
Highlight for Warnings: DH-compliant, *ungraphic sexual activities, including adultery, threesomes and rough sex, featuring Totally Obvious Canon Pairings.*
Prompt: #15 You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake. -- Jeannette Rankin.
Word Count: 3,013
Summary: In times of war everyone has to choose sides. In the aftermath it might not be the one you would have seen yourself leaning to previously, but the intuitive decision of the moment, drawn from a mix of hope and desperation, often has a way of being the ultimately right one.

Notes: Written for the

femgenficathon 2007. Many thanks and much love to

zebraspots05 for listening to my gradual panicking and putting up with all the crappy drafts I threw at her. And, naturally, for her amazing beta job. There is some dialogue you will recognise, which is taken from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, pp. 563-564 and 580-581 British hardcover edition, thusly totally not written by me.

Author:

snegurochka_lee
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Gabrielle, Narcissa, Molly, Tonks, Minerva, Luna. Oh, and Fleur. ;)
Rating: PG-13 (possibly R for some strong language)
Words: ~7,300
Content: DH-compliant
Prompt #2: Every day, every day I hear/ enough to fill/ a year of nights with wondering. -- Denise Levertov.
Summary: She was beautiful, intelligent, talented, successful – and not very nice about it. Clearly, other women must hate her.
Notes: Written for the 2007

femgenficathon. I've been trying to write this story since HBP, when JKR first really wrote women's hatred of Fleur into canon. DH finally helped the story come to life a little bit more. As one of my betas wisely asked, "What are we really talking about when we talk about Fleur?" Many thanks to my beta team,

accio_arse,

islandsmoke,

magnetic_pole, and

stephanometra, who read multiple drafts and asked all the tough questions. Thanks also to

gehayi for running another

femgenficathon, always one of the highlights of my fandom year. :)

Title: A Measure of Danger
Author:

snorkackcatcher
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Prompt: 61. Of course I realized there was a measure of danger. Obviously I faced the possibility of not returning when first I considered going. Once faced and settled there really wasn't any good reason to refer to it. -- Amelia Earhart.

Summary: "I suppose it's a sign of growing up when you realise that your parents can be wrong, isn't it?" An adult Luna Lovegood talks about her part in the war.

Rating: PG
Warnings: DH-spoilerful
Prompt: 11) I want to be a free rover on the breezy common of the universe. -- Harriet Martineau.
Summary: In the life that should have been the perfect fulfillment of her dream to live in Australia, Monica Wilkins struggles to understand why she feels so empty. In the past, Susan Granger sees a whole new world just waiting for her daughter to claim.
Thanks so much to

thescarletwoman who hand-held me through a very long bout of writer's block and beta'd this at the very last minute for me-- any remaining mistakes are mine. And thank you to

gehayi, both for hosting this fest and for extending the deadline-- looks like I made it just under the wire! And thank you to

snorkackcatcher for her insightful Britpicking.

Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: R
Warnings: Vague atrocities, mature themes.
Prompt: #110: The hardest times for me were not when people challenged what I said, but when I felt my voice was not heard. -- Carol Gilligan
Notes: A million thank yous to my friends

shiiki,

sowritesauds, and

queenb23more for helping me out. Their input and suggestions were brilliant and they should each be queen for a week. Well, one technically is a queen already, but anyway. Made of awesome, they are.
Summary: Ariana; like a beautiful melody.

Rating: PG
Prompt: 128. I did not lose myself all at once. I rubbed out my face over the years washing away my pain, the same way carvings on stone are worn down by water. -- Amy Tan
Summary: Idealism is hard to balance against the rest of life.
Notes: This story is DH-compliant, including the epilogue, but ignores anything JKR may or may not have said in various post-book interviews (which I have not read), except the trio's adult jobs, which I inadvertently learned via internet osmosis. Thanks to

willowgreen and Vicky for beta-reading.

Title: In The Light of Power
Author: Loony4lupin
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: Light R for language
Warnings: DH Spoilers, some swearing, first person, and a light, barely, if you squint H/G but only because it’s canon.
Prompt: 149. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. -- Maryanne Williamson.
Summary: -Love does not stop; it may go dormant in times but will not be laid to rest completely. And the power that it gives is truly enough to save the world if we are willing to embrace it.- I would really like to think my beta for this piece such-heights. I would have been lost without the help since I have never written anything like this before. Feedback is really appreciated. Enjoy.

Summary: Prudence Pettigrew suffered a mother’s agony when her son died. When Peter reveals that he’s alive and needs her help, the decision to assist him is a simple one compared to what she’s withstood.
